the but. this is news coming to you live from berlin killed execution style by a suspected far right extremist germany's government calls the fatal shooting of a politician. disgusting and says it's an alarm bell for the country's democracy. also coming up hong kong's chief executive kerry apologizes again for the under arrest. unpopular extradition york but he does not offer her resignation as the protesters are demanding so what's next in the territories political crisis we go

to hong kong also coming up the full my head off for european football michel platini maintains his innocence on to being detained by police in france and investigators are looking into the awarding of the 2022 world cup soccer tournament to the god state of qatar. the color of a woman. jilly's interior minister has once that driving extremism poses a serious danger to society the whole phone was reacting to the execution style killing earlier this month of a city official who spoke out in favor of chancellor refugee policies they will fuck all the killing an alarm bell directed at him and he said right wing extremism

must be forced with all the means consistent with the rule of law would release have arrested a suspected drug being extremist in the case we have this report. police arrested the suspect 45 year old stephany at his home early on sunday morning the next day germany's federal prosecutor took over the case after concluding that photo lip because killing was motivated by right wing extremism he if you ask the suspects previous actions and the views he expressed publicly strongly point to this motive behind one point and. some right wing extremists applauded luke is killing on social media prompting investigators to suspect that the perpetrator might come from far right circles up definition a good time i thought these are investigating whether the suspect is part of a terrorist group or network but at present we have no reliable indications of this but the federal prosecutor's office has taken up this case because of its particular importance and that in itself shows the dimensions of the murder as

a possible political assassinations. stephanie has a criminal record he was previously convicted for his involvement in an attack on a german trade union demonstration he was also linked to an attack on a refugee center in 1903 chancellor angela merkel has welcomed the federal prosecutors initiative. this up this is also if it's right and proper that the federal prosecutor has taken over the investigation and that will open questions a cleared up as quickly as possible. prosecutors did not disclose whether they had had an opportunity to question a. for more on the story i'm joined by chief political correspondent melinda crean jimmy's interior minister said this kind of crime should be taken as a learning signal and what is that supposed to mean well he went on to say that this crime and crimes like it are a danger for our entire free society so clearly his message is that society needs

to take this incident very very seriously indeed he's also sending the message that of course he minister is doing so and that's partly in response to the fact that german security officials and. political officials have in the past been accused of being a blind in the right meaning blind to the risk of political violence from the right to some degree that certainly would apply to the interior minister himself he went on in his remarks to say we're seeing a brutalization of political discourse we're seeing the decline of ethics and morals in our public language and frankly many people would see a certain irony in that statement because the interior minister in his long drawn out battle with chancellor merkel over her open door migration policy used some

very harsh language indeed and many would say poured fuel on the fires of xenophobia in germany and finland in the posthumous security services had been accused of turning a blind eye to right wing extremism have anything changed. it has changed in the past 6 months the interior ministry has set up a special task force to look into right wing violence it has recently issued a report describing what it sees as a serious threat of political violence on the far right however in the longer term it certainly has i think to some degree relativize right wing violence by equally emphasizing islamist violence although in fact if you look at the absolute numbers the fact is there have been a lot more crimes associated with the right wing than with islamist terrorism so i

think yes the changes are happening but they're happening slowly and if they do you know to the day that the only surviving member of a racially motivated rightwing finn was convicted for ruling the killings of 10 people on the concerns that that not and that is not the end of the story actually well yes there are as i said the interior ministry issued a report in this year that says that of 24000 people in germany known to be associated with right wing extremist groups up to 50 percent 12000 may be potentially violent and dangerous we've also seen broad sweeps in 13 different federal states just in the month of june that were directed at the perpetrators of hate speech online so there is definitely i think a climate and certainly other experts confirm this as well a climate in which there's a sense that there is

a rising risk of violence that's not to say that we're going to find out that the particular perpetrator who's accused here the suspect is part of a larger pattern but certainly the risk is there. right melinda crane political correspondent thank you for that analysis and we seen jim. koreans recently elected president while demeans the lansky in berlin but while a military band played their national anthems in very hot weather the german leader seemed unwell shaking at times but when she walked by the god of on now the trembling seemed to have stopped later said at a press conference that she had some water to drink and was feeling better zelinsky is in the german capital for discussions on bilateral issues on the minsk peace process to result of ukraine's tensions with russia. that manado in our correspondence in berlin we again have our chief political

correspondent linda crane and in kiev nick connelly is standing by for us linda let me start with you 1st of all we saw these pictures of chancellor angela merkel not looking very well what more can you tell us about her condition. not a lot she herself ascribed it to dehydration she said in a press conference with the with mrs afterward that in fact she had had 3 glasses of water and now she felt quite well indeed and as you could see when she walked across the red carpet indeed she didn't appear to be shaking any longer she has had one such incident at least one in the past also apparently dealt with through drinking some water and i have to just say for our viewers we're having a usually hot weather here in germany the chancellor has a very demanding schedule a schedule that would put many younger politicians to the test so i think as long as we don't know that she has any serious health problem i would take her word for

it that it was dehydration and by the way to loud allowed her ukrainian guests to win a few points because he did say that she had been perfectly safe standing next to him. and nick getting to you in kiev know what is the significance of this visit by the newly elected president of ukraine. well this is 1st and foremost a chance for the 2 to set eyes upon each other because normally at this level in politics people will have come across each other before being elected but zelinsky really is an outsider someone who just announced he would be entering frontline politics on new year's eve so this is really the 1st time they have met and there was lots of head scratching zikr across europe when he was elected who is this person what does he really plan to do so just really a sense for miracle to size him up beyond that german ukraine in agreement on a lot of issues but there are 2 contentious issues the one is the north stream 2 gas pipeline that russia is building to germany that would bypass ukraine something

that is fiercely against beyond that there's also the question of sanctions against russia over crimea there's been calls in germany for those to be eased after 5 years for them to be given that nothing has changed russia's behavior. very keen there to shore up german support for those sanctions but i think there's also the music music here these are 2 leaders that really couldn't be much more different in terms of temperament and style there had been some speculation there that. he felt close to call someone who had invited him to paris during the campaign something that chancellor merkel hadn't done so this is really. an attempt really now to show unity and show that the 2 are willing to work together to get some progress over dumbass and also jimmy faking and make to see progress on the agreement between russia and ukraine what again is the landscape do in this regard what is his position on this. well that is the $1000000.00 question he really puts peace in the east of ukraine at the center of his. inauguration speech

he said he's top priority would be to stop ukrainian soldiers dying there and they have been done yet in the last few weeks on the other hand he said he wouldn't compromise on ukraine sovereignty in crimea so it's pretty difficult to see where he can go from this he can try and reinvigorate talks bring in new people get the conversation going again but ultimately really this is something that will be decided in the kremlin who is supporting those separatists in these the country and also he has a very very active ukrainian civil society hundreds of thousands of people who fought in that conflict and have since come back who will be watching him very closely and will probably not allow him to make any to be concessions without really having their say on it and linda is there any want on what germany can do to reactivate the agreements of men for actually germany has already been trying to do that in the sense that the foreign minister has been talking about trying to get another meeting of the minsk process foreign ministers. running and possibly also

looking to minsk summit because the fact is the process has been on the ice for some time now and i think there's a lot of interest here in germany in seeing it reactivated but again much rests on the kremlin and a lot of me have put in at the same time that russia says it's interested in seeing the process restarted russia has been handing out russian passports to people in eastern ukraine which is viewed as a violation of international law and russia is still still holding ukrainian soldiers sailors so so much to be done from the russian side if that process is to pick and seriously. when the queen did the obvious chief political correspondent in berlin and an economy in kiev thank you both very much for sharing your perspectives with that. let me now bring you up to date with some
